Pumpkin Jack

(3) K-3 After Halloween is over, Tim reluctantly deposits Jack, his jack-o'-lantern, in the garden to rot. The following spring he discovers Jack's remains, then a sprout, then a plant that blooms and produces fruit through the summer. Come fall he harvests the new pumpkins and creates a new Jack. Rich colored-pencil illustrations, which capture the pumpkin's crumbling decay, animate this satisfying tale.
